"I was terrified, so I ran outside as fast as I could... I wanted to find my godfather and the others to put out the fire..."
He cried harder and harder, his little shoulders trembling, as if he had suffered a great injustice and couldn't even speak.
Shen Xiang didn't know what to say for a moment.
The child was indeed terrified and made the wrong decision.
But what can we do?
He's just a child!
The neighbors around her weren't so easily fooled; their whispers were like a swarm of buzzing mosquitoes, each word piercing Shen Xiang's heart.
"I think it was this brat who started it! He's never been well-behaved since he was little. Last time he even pulled my quilt out to dry and stomped on it!"
"That's right! He's pushed my eldest son into the water three times already, and Li Dahong is still protecting him, standing there with his hands on his hips and yelling that we deserved it!"
Stealing sweet potatoes from Aunt Wang's house and pulling up vegetable seedlings from Uncle Liu's plant, this kid is full of mischief! He must have wanted to go out and play, and the stove fire started because he wasn't watching it properly!
Over the years, Shen Xiang and Tang Jiang have lived in the Zhang family's house, and rumors have never stopped.
A young and beautiful widow, with her teenage son, moved into the home of the man she was once engaged to.
Back then, Ye Nian'an preferred to be demoted rather than swallow this insult; everyone could see that clearly.
Even if Zhang Weiguo said she was the widow of his comrade who saved his life, after living and eating together in his home for so many years, how was that any different from a couple in name only?
Not to mention Tang Jiang, that brat, who's always causing trouble; the neighbors have been itching to get back at him for a while now.
When Li Dahong was around, he was like a firecracker, cursing everyone he met and spewing nonsense. Nobody dared to mess with him and could only avoid him.
Now that Li Dahong has fallen on hard times, and Tang Jiang has burned down the Zhang family's kitchen, the neighbors can't hide their glee.
"That brat..."
Ye Nian'an shook her head slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.
The Zhang family is in such dire straits, yet this kid still hasn't changed his ways.
Just like in my past life, I can go on and cause trouble for the people around me.
What is this called...?
A doting mother often spoils her son!
Because of Tang Jiang in her past life, she developed a physiological fear of childbirth.
He stole her food, framed her for assault, and even secretly added sand to the medicine she was brewing... The list goes on and on.
We still didn't hit enough.
I should have emptied the Zhang family's house before completely breaking ties with Zhang Weimin and then given that brat Tang Jiang a good beating to vent my anger!
but……
Just then, Ye Nian'an caught a glimpse of several familiar figures out of the corner of her eye, and a playful smile suddenly appeared on her lips.
